(30 x 22.2 cm), Drawings, Jean Jacques de Boissieu (French, Lyons 1736–1810 Lyons), Boissieu manifests his love of the picturesque in his landscapes, portraits, and genre scenes, inspired by careful observation of provincial life in his native Lyons. While the strong, tight lines of his red-chalk drawings derive from his training as an engraver, his wash drawings focus on contrasts between light and dark, revealing the influence of seventeenth-century Dutch Fijnschilders (precise painters) such as van Mieris
